It’s certainly been a busy week here at Feministing! We’ve welcomed our new Executive Directors, Senior Editor, Editors, and Contributorsall while keeping our signature swag. But we’re also marking the conclusion of Samhita Mukhopadhyay’s tenure as Feministing’s Executive Editor. Samhita has been a part of the Feministing team since 2005, while also being a kick-assweb strategist, author, and advocate for social justice. Her dedication to the site and to feminism at large has inspired countless young feminists, including this one, and we are waiting with great anticipation the day that Samhita takes over the world, or something like it. (Yes, I do have my Fan Girl hat on, how could you tell?)

Today, Hollaback!, which describes itself as “a non-profit and movement to end street harassment powered by local activists in 64 cities and 22 countries,” is hosting the first ever international speakers series on combatting street harassment in New York City. Leading thinkers and activists will give talks and performances on feminism, tech, and street harassment. The totally awesome team of featured speakers includes Jamia Wilson, Jennifer Pozner, Jimmie Briggs, Sasheer Zamata, as well as Hollaback Site Leaders, and the totally brills, Samhita Mukhopadhyay!

You can witness the awesome revolution here. Livestreaming begins at 2pm.
